Not only does it not differentiate between legal and illegal mp3 files, it also doesn't let you reboot your computer. So far, it's been circulating only in Europe, but those in the US and Asia had better take caution as well. It's only a matter of time... |

Good thing I don't think much of updating my anti-virus programs. It updates itself when updates are available. However, I don't usually scan. it alerts me if I downloaded a trojan/virus, so I feel safe. Imagine how many people use their P2P Programs!?

Good thing I don't have very much music on my computer! That sounds pretty bad. I'm getting sick of worrying about viruses, and updating my anti-virus software. I just don't get some people....
Still, I may live in the US, but it'll probably be here before you know it... |

...Some people are really borred so they're trying to writte *BLEEP* things like this....
Update your AV bases and you'll be sure. And I must say that this virii is spreading mostly by P2P networks (Kazaa,DC++, eMule...) |

In the country a new version of this virus appeared. We have a very low quality kind of music (gypsy music) --- and when i say very low... i mean very very very, etc. low... you'd shoot yourself after just 10 min of listening. So the virus detects this kind of mp3 and deletes them... personally i'd give a reward to the one that created it!
